The 1992 Summer Olympics Football Tournament competition at the 1992 Summer Olympics featured 16 national sides from the six continental confederations. The 16 teams were drawn into four groups of four and each group played a round-robin tournament. At the end of the group stage, the top two teams advanced to the knockout stage, beginning with the quarter-finals and culminating with the gold medal match at Camp Nou on 8 August 1992. [1]
For the first time, an age limit has been set for participants under the age of 23 (Under-23), which has been used ever since. [2] [3]
Spain became the first host country to win the gold medal in an Olympic football tournament since Belgium in 1920, an achievement which would not be repeated until Brazil won it in 2016.
Notably, these were the first matches played with football's new back-pass rule [4] and was the last Olympic football competition which was open to men only before the introduction of a women’s tournament four years later. [5]
